Montana's Birthday!

Yes, tomorrow is Montana's birthday and we are doing a couple activities in the afternoon to celebrate. As you know, we do a whole year long study of Montana, but we want to recognize this special day and do some fun Montana trivia and enjoy a treat. Students are encouraged to "sport" their Montana wear tomorrow such as cowboy hat, boots, jeans, etc. If that attire doesn't work for you, I encourage them to wear red, white, and blue as we are also starting our Veteran's Day celebration tomorrow. Mr. English is going to kick it off by coming in and talking to our class about his experiences in the military and what Veteran's Day means to him. Then we are going to meet with our buddies (Mrs. Culp's 2nd grade) and help them with some writing about heroes. Our class will do most of our Veteran's Day activities on Friday. Today we had our class celebration for getting our first 25 compliments. We went out and enjoyed the beautiful weather for an extra 20 minutes and then had ice cream treats at the end of the day. Thank you to all of you for the Flakesgiving donation. I don't know our school total as of yet, but Team Hankins did their part. Way to go and what a good way to get rid of some of that Halloween candy. In Science today, students did some research on the National Geographic for Kids site. Ask them which are the only 2 continents in which gray wolves are found and write them in the planner for free money. Today in Math, we started 2 digit x 2 digit multiplication. I was impressed at how well it went. The weather is supposed to change tomorrow so be prepared with coats, long pants, etc. Have a great night and cya tomorrow.
